"Micheal's Dream"

I have been sitting on this for over two years and not quite knowing how to share it or when the appropriate time would be to post this.  Michael Harrell is a personal friend of mine.  One of the very first connections I made through online ministries.  I was doing to fellowship site for my Church at the time we were acquainted.  This dream weighed so heavily upon me and I prayed God might use it to bless someone or to draw understanding of the Holy Spirit's intentions.  It is really amazing and I hope you can see some of the parallels lining up with the things that are shaking around us and I hope you are blessed.

"MICHAEL'S DREAM"

Normally I either don't have or remember dreams. I can't recall but a handful in a life time. Recently I've been asking GOD to speak to me in dreams and visions according to his word. At 2:30 AM this morning I awoke with this memory of a dream. I was to attend Church this morning with some Friends I'd met doing Prison Ministry. My Friend is the Senior Pastor of the church in question. My dream was a as followed. I entered the parking lot. The church building was a fairly nondescript Quonset hut type metal building on the outside.

Around the parking lot of the church were four Canopy Shelter tents. The kind used in events over tables. Each Tent was manned by a couple of church members who were involved in some kind of Ministry. I passed one through another being guided through each by a member finally arriving at the main entrance to the Church building. In the foyer of the building were two doors leading to the sanctuary. I passed thought the one on the left an immediately found myself again outside and on a hillside overlooking a large pasture (Ocala horse country) and way off in the distance I saw few people in small groups here and there and it looked like they were talking.

Notes The Sanctuary was an enigma Bigger inside than outside. I didn't understand and began praying asking GOD to make it clear what the dream meant. While I was praying for understanding about the dream I had this vision. I went through the other door. It led into a stock yard which led into a stock auction which was running at a almost frantic pace. Live stock was brought in from the chutes driven across the auction floor and sold as fast as the stock could be moved. Not sold by the head but herds sold by the pound. The only buyers were the packing houses. NO rancher, no breeders, no farmers were buying live stock. As often as the gavel fell the stock was herded into loading chutes and loaded into semi's for shipping to the packing houses.

There were many people sitting in the bleachers watching the auction apparently with little interest, and from time to time the watchers would get up and go down to the auction floor and become live stock and be sold to the packers and herded into the semis. I left the auction and went back to the other door. I saw groups in the distance and I walked towards them. I asked GOD who are these people? He answered that some are my workers and some are those who need the ministry of my workers. They are busy about my business. I didn't have to ask who were the spectators in the auction barn. I see this as a stern rebuke to the lazy complacent church, with the warning that not following GOD's plan is sin and sin leads to death. I believe the open beautiful pasture land is GOD's promise of Life to those who serve HIM.

I asked GOD for scriptural backup and He gave me this scripture. Deu 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deu 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD swear unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

As I said in the beginning I'm not accustomed to operating in these gifts, and so it is new to me. I am interested in your thoughts and observations relative to this experience.  Be blessed.

Pharmakeia Greek Translation of Pharmacy Biblical Definition is Sorcery

Before you go diving into this article there are drugs that help us medically so I am not debating this issue but please read this article if you know of anyone under the seduction of drug abuse. This is not being taught and we are forever more depending on drugs for a spiritual healing.  My Mother shared this with me many years ago. Very important with dealing with a fragile subject as drug addiction. It is the hardest thing to break and is destroying our families, our children and breaking down part of our entire society.
PHARMAKEIA:

Drugs and Sorcery at the End of the Age. --A. Herstad Back
Most of us, when asked for Biblical signs warning of the nearness of the last days will mention Israel, or perhaps the Global Economy. Some will mention the famines, earthquakes and diseases; the "wars and rumors of wars" that sweep our planet.

Few, however, will think to mention DRUGS, SORCERY and religious DECEPTION as significant of the end times.

Even though these are foreshadowed in Scripture, they are only brought to notice through careful study with a Bible in one hand and newspaper in the other. So if you think your favorite recreational drug "isn't mentioned in the Bible", you have another think coming, because what you are doing falls under the heading of "pharmakeia", or in English, "sorcery", as we will prove in the following paragraphs.

The worldwide spread of psychedelic (Peyote, LSD); narcotic (heroin); and hypnotic (hashish) drugs fulfills the prophetic scriptures as one o of two forms of SORCERY that would lead the nations into rejection of Christ, and bring them into their final destruction as slaves of the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, under a New World Order at the end of the age.

Some may wonder why marijuana/hashish is included here. It's included because it, like the other drugs, produces an ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS that leaves the user open to hypnotic, and therefore demonic suggestion. In the Old Testament, God forbids his people to engage in "enchantment" (hypnosis) and witchcraft (sorcery).

The following Hebrew words as defined in Strong's Concordance illustrate this altered state and it's occultic roots:

Strong's # 2267: cheber (kheh'-ber); from 2266; a society; also a spell: KJV-- + charmer (-ing), company, enchantment, X wide. (DIC)

Strong's # 3908: lachash (lakh'-ash);from 3907; properly, a whisper, i.e. by implication, (in a good sense) a private prayer, ( in a bad one) an incantation; concretely, an amulet: KJV-- charmed, earring, enchantment, orator, prayer. (DIC)

Strong's # 3909: lat (lawt); a form of 3814 or else participle from 3874; properly, covered, i.e. secret; by implication, incantation; also secrecy or (adverb) covertly: -enchantment, privily, secretly, softly. (DIC)

Enter: the New Testament
Yeshua
warned us in Matthew 24 of these things that would mark the last days before his second coming. Of religious DECEPTION, he says:


"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt 24:24 (KJV)
This verse is one of five or six times the Bible mentions MIRACLES in connection with DECEPTION in the last days. The fate of those who are so deceived is shown in Matthew 7:21-23:


"Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons AND PERFORM MANY MIRACLES?' Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"
The means of this deception looks religious and perhaps even doctrinally plausible, but the methods of performing miracles is NOT. There is, in addition to false doctrine, a visible, hands on method by which the nations are being deceived. That method is SORCERY, and/or "witchcraft".
The New Testament mentions TWO kinds of sorcery: MAGIC (In Greek, "mageia") and DRUGS (In Greek, "pharmakeia"). The New Testament was originally written in Greek, and the distinction between these two types of witchcraft has been lost in the translation. But our Strong's Concordance and Vine's Dictionary of New Testament Words spotlight these deceptions, helping us to identify them so that we may take warning:



MAGEIA

(magic) The following is a Biblical example of MAGIC being used to lead others astray:


"Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, "This man is the divine power known as the Great Power." They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his MAGIC." --Acts 8:9-11 (NIV)
The Greek word for "magic" is listed in Strong's Dictionary:
Strong's # 3095: mageia (mag-i'-ah); from 3096; "magic": KJV-- sorcery. (DIC)



PHARMAKEIA

(sorcery, witchcraft)


"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and WITCHCRAFT; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. --Gal 5:19-21 (NIV)
The Greek word here used for "witchcraft" is:
Strong's # 5331:pharmakeia (far-mak-i'-ah); from 5332; medication ("pharmacy"), i.e. (by extension) magic (literally or figuratively): KJV-- sorcery, witchcraft. (DIC)

Vine's Dictionary brings this into perspective with the following:



SORCERY:

"Pharmakeia" (Eng., pharmacy etc.) primarily signified the use of medicine, DRUGS, SPELLS; then, POISONING; then, SORCERY, Galatians 5:20, R.V., "sorcery" (A.V., "witchcraft"), mentioned as one of "the works of the flesh." See also Rev. 9:21; 18:23
In the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament ca. 200 B.C.), Ex. 7:11,22; 8:7, 18; Isa. 47:9,12
"In sorcery, the use of DRUGS, whether simple or potent, was generally accompanied by INCANTATIONS and appeals to OCCULT powers, with the provision of various charms, amulets, etc., professedly designed to keep the applicant or patient from the attention and power of demons, but actually to impress the applicant with the mysterious resources and powers of the sorcerer."
So in conclusion, the person who uses ANY of the drugs mentioned here is giving himself over to the will of another--that chief Sorcerer himself--Satan, the enemy of our souls. Christ died to save us from slavery of sin, from the power of Satan and the penalty of Hell.
When a believer engages in these activities, he is in effect denying his Lord the honor due him: who's shed blood purchased the believer's eternal redemption. The Bible says:



"You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men." -1 Corinthians 7:23



"Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts."--Rev 9:21
"The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your MAGIC spell all the nations were led astray."--Rev 18:23
THE DOOM OF THE DEAD:

the final resting place of both the Deceiver and the decieved. God has warned us ahead of time.

" No Silence Inside Myself"

There are many people that are trying to bring awareness through all of this corruption and it does bring us to one place. As these things take place we will all be accounted as one. It is not my concern of what people do, I am clearly not there judge and don't choke others with the word of God. This is pointless and only breeds more divisions among people. This is my point, our concerns are motivated by love even in spite of the anger. We all have concerns for our families and that is why there is such a strong need among people right now. I have friends that educate me on things I was totally unaware.

I have knowledge of the scriptures but to much trust we have given over to the Government to think they will do the right thing. Good honest working people that love and we aren't in the streets stirring up havoc upon other lives. We are quiet, tolerate and private people that just want to take care of our families and live in peace but while the government is infringing things upon us, it is making it less possible to live peaceable lives and raise our children. I believe in a Sovereign God but there is a voice inside of every rational man and woman that is defiled by injustice of corruption it rises up to the surface and you began to question yourselves about whether you should speak or remain silent.

I don't condemn homosexuals I pray for them. I don't condemn doctors that preform abortions, I again pray for them. I have many of my own wrongs to make right. I don't care about the mosque across the City but why do they seek to blow up my Church and there rights are greater than ours. This is the unsilent inside myself. I am being choked by not being allowed to raise my children based on my values to bring them up with the morals that are en stilled in me. Everyone should be respected to do this for there own children. We are no longer allowed, this has been stolen in the public schools.

I don't base my friendships with others upon my beliefs because I see people as human beings. What are we fearing? Our government has become our enemy. We are the good guys, the hard workers that built things under the blood of thousands of others that died. If someone chooses to be Gay, that is their personal choice because we have a choice of free will which is a beautiful thing. Don't tread on my children to teach them this while I am trying to instill the morals that I see fit for them. This destroys and breaks down our homes. We are the enemy, the free. We are being choked in a strangle hold and the more silence remains the more we are complacently being driven into slavery. I pray for people to learn, to wake up and snap out of it. It is under your nose while you are still wondering if Elvis is alive.

"I'll Play For You"

This song Play for you by Seals and Croft is an old one. I do have much to share about this song. In 1994 I woke up in the month of April at around 3.00 am and I had a dream I set among 10 or 12 musicians and this was the music.



Yes I was amused with this song but the musicians played it more beautifully than I had ever heard it. We were set up on a rugged large slab of concrete with broken cracks and if you didn't watch your step you would fall because of the disposition of the cement. However as this music played I was one of those musicians. 

I found this odd also because I did not know how to play an instrument. My grandfather was inducted into the Georgia Country Music Hall of Fame and he has passed away now. Ralph Nelson, My dad played several instruments but the guitar was his favorite choice. My father played guitar and I was lured to this like nothing in my life.

I did not give it much thought at the time because it was a peaceful cradling dream. As we looked across the concrete we were an island and we were surrounded by nothing but sewer. That was really a strange analogy. It was a quiet and peaceful sobering event but I didn't quite understand the symbols of the smashed concrete and the sewer that surrounded the sewer island.

This dream stayed in my mind most of my life. In 2006 my father Robert Nelson passed away from lung cancer. Quite a grip for me to handle his death because of his music and during this critical period of my life, the Lord led me to the guitar. This was a comforting way for me to deal with my Father's Death. God provided a way for me to cope with these things.

 Yahweh led me to write, this was not something unusual or out of the ordinary because I had written journals for years through periods of my life to help me along the way. Me, yes it was a huge help, reading and writing and feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit but not knowing it was truly not meant for me. Only for a season.

I was led to other Christian writers and we became deeply committed in friendship with many things in common and the thankfulness we had felt in how he had moved through our lives. As I grew in the word and spiritual maturity, the Lord was revealing more to me and the closer I drew to him , the more I could feel his presence working in my life.

There was a push, and a longing and a path that was being laid out in front of me. It became quite clear that Yahweh was leading me to share things about how he could get us through impossible circumstances if our faith and love was applied towards him. I was now being brought to another level of understanding the love of Yahweh. When we are totally dependant of this faith through Yeshua it doesn't stop there, it becomes a mouth piece of what we have seen, what he has done through our lives and our testimonies are what bears witness to others that he still lives and he was truly risen from the dead.

Yes salvation of Yeshua is a gift of his love for each one of us but there is something even more precious in this transition of time because through this transformation we decrease and he is to increase taking our eyes off our selves and pouring out the blessings of our lives as an example. A light that bears his witness. We become students in a process but once we are moved passed this level it flows outward to testify of him towards others.

There was something that was bringing me to a new place in my faith. It was time for me to move and I could not hold the Love of Yahweh anymore in my heart without the overflow. I decided to reach out more through friends and family on online networks to restore old friendships and family ties. This was something I needed to do as I had been isolated from most of these people for well over 8 years or more because of the shame of the failures of my life. Most of everything had fallen apart and what could I share that hadn't been totally humiliating. I was healing and relationships were being restored.

I was asked to start a page online for our fellowship by a Pastor, it was then that the Holy Spirit took over my life and I begin to live a total unashamed life completely in Yeshua.


It was a moment that changed everything about me. God spoke to me and said why can you share your faith with this fellowship but can't be open with your friends and family. I was very humbled by this but It led me into a deep repentance because I had been ashamed and was still wearing masks afraid of what others might think. Fears of the past and times before that I was humiliated and beaten for having such a desire for Yeshua. I didn't want to have to face these things again. There were questions that came up. What would my brothers and sisters think and the friends I had gone to school with that knew me? All these things came against me.

The truth that Yah revealed to me was to shine through and be who he intended me to be. No one really knew this part that I kept hid for so many years. As I had gone back to Networking with friends and family I laid all of these fears at the feet of Yeshua and said I will be obedient for you to do through me anything to glorify you. Me became last and I stepped out in a higher faith level. Putting myself on the line, my reputation now belonged to Yeshua and he told me very clearly. I will use your harm to bring good.

From that moment forward I was lead to others that ministered to me and polished my weaknesses. Many Saints sent to me to sing praises and that ministered to me in many ways. I laid down my pride and felt the convictions and the areas I had to release in order to be his servant. I was corrected, I was tested and I began to learn about discernment and to learn what is truly good and evil. These bad things I was still holding onto were being broken. My life was being humbled and he was ministering to me though others in a way I never knew. Bringing so much revelation and I was decreased and no longer cared of my reputation or my past any longer. It became less important of the aspirations of what men thought and more important of how Yah was seeing me.

Giving over to the Holy Spirit to guide your life is not an easy one when we have been not been able to trust but these faith steps would increase and more of Yeshua was being revealed to me. There were soon two and three that were bearing witness of his revelations and we were experiencing these things together. I was dying to self and taking on Yeshua day by day. There are many people I have shared these experiences with, even some of those old friends from school and some of my family.


Amazing through all of these blessings YAH was pouring out over this last year, there were never questions of what religion are you. We aren't religion. We are the Children of Yah that follows his son Yeshua.  What a huge miracle to know I had all these disciples of Yeshua as my intimate friends to share. This is true fellowship, one I never experienced. We now have become teachers, those with compassion, those who are healers and intercessors for a divine purpose that support each other through online ministries as the present time is so close to his return.

All of these people that I share and have bonded with are voices of Yahweh. They each have used all creativity HE has given them as recording artists, screen play directors or authors and bloggers, musicians, poets, shofar blowers and dreamers and dancers. This dream was a look into my future. We are living in desperate times and the anger is increasing and the love of Yah has waxed cold. I am in the World, but not a part of the world. I see death and destruction and lost one of my friends that was killed for his faith in Yeshua in Pakistan. We are watching the World but our cares are not upon it.

These are the people that refuse to keep Yahweh in a box. These are the people that are laying themselves on the line, that aren't afraid to share there weaknesses to build themselves up in the likeness of Yeshua and to learn of his love and to shine in this dark and present world. These are the ones that don't seek to accuse and condemn. These are the ones that understand and have compassion of the unbelieving people in the world. These are the few that have overcame impossible circumstances while the world was telling them they would never overcome. These are my brothers and sisters, the warriors for Christ that would be willing to lay down there lives for him no matter the cost and they are doing all that God has given them to bring forth the Love of Christ.

The world is dying and passing away. Looking at the world I see now. These people that have transformed my life through allowing Christ to work though there life transcended to me opening up the full working of the Holy Spirit that can not lie. These people didn't help me. It was Christ working through them. We don't glorify in ourselves, it is nothing of what we do but the power of the Holy Spirit to take us to the feet of the cross and live as the disciples did and to bring a light into the very darkest of places.

I see these standing shoulder to shoulder, each representing an instrument of Yeshua being used in the broken concrete, and the sewage of the world, of all the politically corrupt, the deceivers and lovers of the world. We will continue to bring hope and encouragement to this infested world through Yeshua we will rise. This dream has now become a reality that is so clear.

We are standing upon brokenness, and we are looking out into a huge discouraging world. The waste of all the blessings we once knew. It is passed now. The world is dying but we are rising. We don't fear the dark places, and we don't fear the destruction of the World. We have something to share and that is Christ and we will play for him, write for him, teach for him and shine in his glory through this passing age. We are standing upon the broken concrete looking across miles of the sewage from the effects of turning away from Yah, but we will be music and we will be at peace and we will shine the love of Yeshua through out the days that are left.

This was no dream but this is my life and the life of my friends. Be a player, you have harm, Christ can turn it all to good. You can be an instrument that passes across the earth and brings forth a beautiful and soundly word to the lost and dying world. God has given you the ability to do this. He willed you and created you and knew you before you were born. The Holy Spirit will equip you. He wants you to stand with us on the broken concrete and play for him.

Join the body of Christ. Be blessed and stand strong in your faith.
